Nice place with GREAT people! - As long as you view the price of admission as a donation for them to continue their good work, then the place is great. Primitive facility down a dirt road with no power. Very nice quiet area. Includes a pond with geese and ducks next to the butterfly enclosure.

pleasurable informative - It was an amazing experience. Not only was our guide, Fabian, knowledgeable about the butterfly inhabitants of the sanctuary he spoke of specific flora for different types as well as the effect of seasonal fluxuations.

Definitely Check This Out - Great trip and engaging enough that my 19-month toddler paid attention. My wife and I loved it. The dirt road to get out there is a little sketchy, and the cell service is hit and miss, so plan accordingly. Well worth the trip to see the great work they are doing.

Do not miss this! - So amazing! From the very beginning with a close up look at all of the parts of a butterfly life cycle to releasing a butterfly for its first flight, the whole thing was beautiful and magical. The passion that supports this sanctuary is clear from the very first moment of the tour and doesn’t stop. This is not a polished enclosed building with a pretty little gift shop, it is a bit rough and natural in its beauty. Yes you can buy souvenirs but you will pay for it online using your phone. A first for me but it worked and I have the T-shirts to prove it! Next year I will be back and I will bring others. Thank you Luis for a great tour and furthering my education! See you next year!

Random adventure - This was an off the cuff adventure, that was an absolute delight! We took a risk to uber out there hoping to get a tour, and we received an amazing tour by Adrian. One of our favourite activities we experienced in puerto Vallarta. Very informative, felt like a rick star on a private tour!
